Is WeightWatchers a Scam?

Weight LossIs Weight Watchers a Scam? The obvious answer to that question is no. Thousands of people have used their system to lose weight. There’s no shortage of evidence that it works for most people – just do a search on Twitter at any given time and you’ll see that right now there are tons of people tweeting away about how awesome it is and how great it works.

 

Weight Watchers wasn’t the answer for me – yes, it helped me lose weight, but because I was never satisfied by the amount of food I could have in a day (21 points for those of you in the know), the weight came back quickly. That being said, I’m willing to admit it just wasn’t the right program for me… it doesn’t mean I doubt its effectiveness, or question the hundreds of testimonials I’ve seen touting it’s power. I’m always happy when I hear a success story.

 

That’s why I find it strange when people ask me “Is Isagenix a scam?” The obvious answer to that question is no. Like WeightWatchers, Isagenix has helped thousands of people lose weight and get healthy. Isagenix hasn’t been around as long as WeightWatchers, and are nowhere near as main-stream, but it doesn’t mean the program is any less effective or healthy.

 

In this age of information overload, and internet rip-offs (think the Acai Berry scam), it’s hard not to be skeptical. It’s a huge leap of faith to give your credit card information to anyone, let alone for another “diet” program. But when you’re considering a program like Isagenix, consider this: Isagenix is sold only by independent distributors. The company does not advertise, but instead relies on word-of-mouth to sell the product. Tthe person telling you about Isagenix was once just as skeptical as everyone else – they took that leap of faith and have had an amazing experience that they would love for you to have as well.

 

Founded in 2002, the company’s revenue in 2005 after just three years in business was an incredible $63.8 million. By 2008 that number had risen to $245.0 million… Not bad for a little word of mouth business. Yes those are just numbers, but it’s a testament to the quality of the product – without quality and without happy, repeat customers, there’s no way Isagenix would be posting gains like that – particularly in this economy.

 

So the next time you ask yourself “Is Isagenix a scam?” remember the thousands of people who have experienced great results, and the crazy amount of revenue that’s been generated just by word of mouth. In short, Isagenix is not a scam, and it’s positive effects are already being enjoyed by thousands of people around the world. It’s entirely likely that you’ve tried WeightWatchers, but have you tried Isagenix yet?

Dawn ~ I have never tried Weight Watchers myself and like you said I know it works great for some and doesn’t for others. I guess for me it comes down to preference on counting calories vs counting points … vs choose from this list … to structure (like Isagenix – fairly structured). I believe many of us have tried many different methods. I’ve done Isagenix in the past (and I’m doing a cleanse right now). I like the fact that when I clease I feel great! I have arthritis and fibromyalgia and when I cleanse I’m pain free, no joint problems, no stomach bloat, and much more energy! I need to figure out what it’s going to take to get me to commit to a life-long change … instead of using it as a “quick solution” but temporary. *sigh* Thanks for your great blog. *huGs*
